POTBELLY – A1048522
8-29-2015 Manhattan
**GONE 08/29/15** How heartbreaking is this? Straight from the owner surrender notes: “He might love toys but he hasn’t had them before.” Seriously?? POTBELLY is a NEUTERED 4-year old superstar who is great with kids 10 and up, and who has never had a toy in his life. This exquisite cat is about to be killed, never knowing the joys of a catnip fish or a sparkle ball. Please do NOT let POTBELLY go down the hard way, at the hands of a broken “shelter” system. His AVERAGE rating means that just about anyone would be a good fit to FOSTER or ADOPT POTBELLY, tonight!
